Pumpernickel does go bad

How can you tell?
Seriously, I know it does, but it lasts longer than any white bread does. Way longer. A lot longer than my taste for it lasts, at least. [Usually till the spinach dip is gone.]
Bread was a big aggravation with a small fridge, having to throw half of every loaf out bugged me.

Well it gets a white/light blue mold (Rhizopus stolonifer) a little slower than most breads. I just threw out a whole loaf that I made a week ago, it went bad fast for some reason, I think it was because I put it next to another loaf that was marginal.
By the way, I don't see the reason why that thread was posted in the Load-1 section and that was the reason for the response here.

Married to a Dane we know pumpernickel. Gracis is buying flat packages o p' bread.
Mestermacher is the name. Sometimes in the deli section. Smetimes in the European food section. 8 dense thin slices per package.

That sounds absolutely scumptious, but I sure wouldn't eat that right before I went to bed!
It's a sad day indeed when a good pumpernickel goes bad. I can't help but wonder where I went wrong, what could I have done differently to prevent such a awful thing. We used to be so happy together, then, suddenly, it goes bad. How does that happen? I hang my head and cry.

Where were you guys in 1962 when I needed you
Couldn't grow mold then but I can do it now without even trying. It even grew it's own thread.
So, who has the seeds to grow loads and have them beat on the side of your truck to get in?

The other thing to do with the bread is to make a porridge from it. When Gracie comes back I will get the instructions. I think it involves cooking it down in beer.

Could always feed the ducks and geese
Klosterman Bakery, in the Cincinnati area, produces 1/2 loaves available at many local grocery stores / mass merchandisers.
I've never seen one, and I loved mine, all kinds of good bread. You could just cut the recipe in half, but the machines are not very small themselves and once you find recipes for 'apple pie' bread and honey oat nut bread, the ingredients begin taking over the cabinet space, cause you only need a bit of this & a pinch of that....

Beer and bread soup
10 slices of pumpernickel
21/2 cups malt beer---or water
1/2 lemon
1/3 cup sugar
Break bread and let soak over nite.
Cook over low heat until thick.
Flatten the lumps or if you have a colander strain thru that.
Bring to a boil adding lemon and sugar.
Stir for a few minutes.
Serve hot with whipped cream. Real whip cream not corn syrup whip cream.
Taste takes some getting used to.

When I lived in southern California, it seemed that NO ONE knew what pumpernickel was. I asked for a sandwich made with it at a deli one day. The clerk knew not what I was talking about. I pointed to that wonderful black loaf and she said, "Oh, you mean 'squaw bread?'"
